Typological narratives (in which New Testament stories are juxtaposed with their Old Testament 'antetypes' as a way of encouraging
the exegetical mindset) became quite popular in the late 12th / early 13th century. There are stained glass examples at
Sens, Bourges,
Le Mans and elsewhere, in addition to various examples in other media. Here the main narrative runs top to bottom but the typological scenes are
not so well laid out as at Bourges.

Unfortunately my camera and I seem to have been having a bit of an 'off day' when I shot this window. Quite why the results are all out
of focus is a mystery - but they will have to suffice. The window retains far less of its original panels than most at Chartres - the central
axis from panel 14 upwards is all modern, the work of Atelier Lorin (signed and dated 1876 in a piece of red glass to the left of panel 14).
Two of the original panels (08 and 25) had been reemoved for repairs at the time of my last visit and hence do not appear here.
